Painting Collection of the Museum of Arts and Crafts, Zagreb

The Museum of Arts and Crafts is the oldest and largest art museum in Croatia. A selection of fifty of their most important paintings will be presented to the Slovenian and international public, demonstrating the diversity, richness and significance of the artistic and cultural heritage preserved in the Museum’s painting collection. 

The exhibition will be based on the paintings of the European Old Masters, from the 14th century onwards. It will feature high-quality late Gothic and early Renaissance works. Among the Venetian artists, paintings by Vittore Carpaccio and Bartolomeo Vivarini will be presented. The Baroque section will feature paintings by Italian and Spanish masters, such as Guido Reni, Francesco Cairo, José de Ribera and an exceptional work by one of Rembrandt's few pupils, Jan Victors.

Part of the exhibition will be linked to the presentation of Croatian artists and Slovenian painters such as Valentin Metzinger and Anton Cebej.
